No compressor on the output of an MPC2KXL. Guess thats on the newer units.. I spent a small amount of time when i first got(the mpc)it listening to it when you
2006-10-06 by gonzinigonz
All good there. So quantise an XL seq to 32nd s or 16ths. Will it still sound as tight all things being equal?

I didn t talk here about automatical PPQN decrease. I was talking about lower PPQN value on the MPC compared to the CS. Sorry if I was misunderstood, english
2006-10-04 by robotchas
Higher resolution (384ppqn vs. 96ppqn) means it will more accurately capture the timing nuances of a performance. Recording at a lower PPQN or coarser
2006-10-04 by milesegan
... Why would the PPQN automatically decrease? On the MPC it s a constant 96. I think the reason people think the MPC sounds so tight is that the output is
2006-10-04 by Zsolt Szabó
Hello Aaron and gonzinigonz, yes, I understand that lower PPQN is similar to quantize. However, this would mean also that busy loops with many tracks would

Do you know how the XL-7 s synth compares to other synths, timing-wise? Seems to me an external synth would have roughly the same latency to calculate its
2006-10-04 by Aaron Eppolito
Lower PPQ sequencers can sound tighter than higher PPQ sequencers because the lower PPQ is, in effect, quantization. It s the same reason that quantized stuff
2006-10-04 by gonzinigonz
less overhead for the software i guess... im not a programmer. Dont think it would mean other seq data would suffer more as a result of the lower ppqn, again
2006-10-04 by Zsolt Szabó
Sorry for my ignorance but how can a lower PPQN sequencer be more tight than a higher PPQN one ? It would mean that in cases where many tracks are used it
2006-10-04 by gonzinigonz
yer the mpc2KXL is 96ppqn as well, it does keep things really tight. 32nd note resolution is good enough for me :0) I will normally correct everything anyway

I used to have a command station and am thinking about getting another one. About the timing of the command stations and mpc s. I felt that they both had very
2006-10-03 by gonzinigonz
So does the same apply for tracks routed for external midi only? Having your own samples in the XL s does appeal to me, but it seems really expensive to author

Thats really cool! i always wished someone would do this for the MPC2000XL.. Maybe it will happen some day. Bit like the roger linn version for the MPC3000.
2006-10-03 by Aaron Eppolito
Yeah, the XL-7 s sequencer s timing is unfortunately limited by the synthesiser. External MIDI it does pretty well. Internal sounds can take anywhere from
2006-10-02 by robotchas
The MPC will have better timing because its internal sound engine is much simpler than the Command Station s. External sounds, of course, are limited by MIDI.
